The developers at Secret Base have just launched a free patch for Streets of Red: Devil's Dare Deluxe that includes four new bosses as well as online leaderboards and new language options. They aren't charging more for this extra content t...

One Finger Death Punch garnered a lot of goodwill when it arrived back in 2013. It's currently sitting high with a 10/10 overall rating on Steam with over 10,000 reviews. If you've never played it before, think of those stick man Flash...

There were so many ways that it could go wrong. First of all, would it even find its audience? On the surface, The American Dream looks like just another first-person shooter. Would that be enough to kill it right there? Would the people wi...

Upon the release of Super Meat Boy in 2010, independent game creator Edmund McMillen had finally struck it big. After years of making obscure and much smaller projects, he and Super Meat Boy co-creator Tommy Refenes became overnight success...

[Update: It seems like this story was a call to arms for at least one involved party, and might be the final nail in the coffin of this years-long saga. After weeks of attempts I was able to get in contact with Engine Software, who too...

At RTX 2018 last weekend, I got a chance to catch up with Rooster Teeth Games’ own David Eddings. Having previously worked for Gathering of Developers and Gearbox, Eddings is now the head of game publishing for the budding company and...

It's insane to me that World of Warcraft has lasted nearly 14 years and is just now preparing to host another expansion in mere days. Having played since the start I've witnessed myriad changes first-hand, some small, and some so monumental...

Killer Queen is one of the best times you can have at an arcade, but right now it's pretty hard to find a game. It's a lot tougher to distribute arcade machines around the country than it used to be, so you've probably never had the opportu...

Fox n Forests has been marinating for nearly two months now since its May 17 launch, and given that it was released for multiple platforms, it's worth checking in to see how it's doing. I spoke to the game's director, Rupert Ochsner, t...

The wild, wide world of the gaming economy is far too closed off for its own good. With publishers like Microsoft protecting any sort of hard numbers of hardware sales and many others walling off their proprietary digital gardens from pryin...

We posted the exclusive news about No More Heroes: Travis Strikes Again's adventure mode last week, but we never got to post the video where that news originated from. So here is part one of it! Thanks to Gordan Freeman for getting it edit...

Deckard Cain, the scholarly scribe of the Diablo universe, wasn't one for direct combat. Although his influence over the arcane was a huge part of the lore, and a lot of us were really waiting for his Super Saiyan moment, his role in t...

For years now, I’ve been a huge fan of the Yakuza series. The first title I played was Yakuza 3 back in 2011 and it took me by complete surprise. It was basically everything I had ever wanted out of a video game, right down to kooky c...

I recently got back into Lord of the Rings Online and it's been a blast. Not only has Standing Stone Games (who took over for the original developer Turbine) been updating the game with quality of life enhancements, it's also fini...

When it was announced that BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle would provide half its roster as DLC, the internet pretty much exploded. Hardcore and casual fans alike were upset at the hard push for add-ons, more than any other Arc System Works...

Daisuke Ishiwatari is a tireless man. If you haven't seen the toco toco game creator special on him, watch it immediately...I'll wait. That mini-documentary was two years ago, but when asked how long he was interested in making games, just ...

Arc System Works is holding a press event in the US this week, and I had the opportunity to speak with Toshimichi Mori (Producer and BlazBlue series creator), and Daisuke Ishiwatari (Director and Designer of Guilty Gear) regarding the ...

Monsters get a bad wrap. They're often ugly things, toothy and violent creatures whose only purpose is to pose a threat to humans. In games, monsters tend to function as disposable roadblocks. Goblins and zombies get slaughtered with impuni...

With the release of DUSK onto Steam Early Access last month, old-school first-person shooter fans have been in heaven. The game captures the glory of games like Quake and Doom while providing modern compatibility and startling creativity. W...

You've probably seen a DJMax setup at a convention or an arcade, but the series has rarely been released on home consoles or portables in the west. It's mostly stuck to South Korea with very few exceptions since 2004, which is insane given ...

A lot of games seem to be doing extremely well on the Switch; impressive for a system that's barely even a year old that followed up the under-performing Wii U. So impressive in fact that Switch versions are outselling PC, PS4, and Xbox One...

Matt Thorson got his start making "small indie games in Game Maker and Flash," only to one day craft critically acclaimed titles like TowerFall and Celeste for multiple major platforms. Life can move pretty quickly, and for Matt, things hav...

George Fan is pretty modest for someone who created Insaniquarium and Plants vs. Zombies, two of the most memorable and replayable games ever released. His career has spanned almost two decades, from freaky Flash games to creating a major f...

Odds are if you started World of Warcraft in the last few years, you may not have even seen several of the zones -- or entire expansions for that matter. Old content has long been a burden or a boon for MMOs, and when you're knee deep in si...

Hearthstone has gone through a lot of changes in the past (nearly) four years it's been out. I'm not just talking about balance and card alterations, but multiple fundamental shakeups, including the introduction of the popular season collec...
